Julia Cole didn’t plan this career… it found her.

From writing poems and a 500-page novel as a kid in Texas to singing national anthems and eventually headlining her own tour, Julia’s journey into country music wasn’t traditional. It was built step by step through experience, heartbreak, and figuring it out in real time.

In this episode of Sons and Daughters, Julia opens up about the moments that shaped her, from growing up in a competitive family to chasing a creative writing dream at Vanderbilt, to realizing music could be more than just a hobby.

Then everything changed.

After going through a painful breakup and calling off an engagement, Julia found herself writing songs not for success, but because she had no other choice. What started as therapy turned into something much bigger, music that now resonates with millions of people going through the same struggles.

This is a conversation about:

Turning heartbreak into purpose

Finding your voice through failure

The reality of chasing a music career

Why success rarely looks like you expect it to

And why sometimes the hardest moments in your life are the ones that define your future.
